Abstract
Construction industry has a lower productivity if compared to manufacturing and several researchers related the issues of productivity to the low levels ofsupply chain integration. Internet of Things (IoT) recently emerged as a promising solution for the achievement of higher levels of supply chain integration. However, the link between IoT and supply chain integration has not been adequately investigated, and a comprehensive analysis of the mechanisms enabling higher levels of integration is missing. In the light if this gap, this paper explores the potential of Internet of Things for the achievement of supply chain integration, assuming a supply chain perspective. The results of an in depth case study in an infrastructure firm show that the full exploitation of the potential of IoT at a supply chain level requires the proper implementation of the key supply chain management principles.
